Project Description

Project Brief

Each year the grades 4,5, and 6 students at Belfountain P.S. hold a barbecue in honour of those who help them to pick and destroy (or cook) the invasive species known as Garlic Mustard. I was asked to give them a hand with the poster one year, and have been going back since.

The Challenge

The only challenge here is managing to incorporate as many great ideas as possible into one poster. We seem to do pretty well, getting a little better each year.

The Solution

At first I was stumbling on finding a way to explain kerning, serifs, tracking, hierarchy and printing job estimates, but I found that allowing them to speak to me as if they were customers helped out a lot.

We now have a great working relationship and I plan on continuing this tradition as long as I can.
